Preparative Isolation of Antimycobacterial Shoreic Acid from Cabralea canjerana by High Speed Countercurrent Chromatography

High speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) was used to isolate the dammarane type triterpene shoreic acid from the dichloromethane extract of leaves of Cabralea canjerana, which showed activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A preparative scale-up of the process was also developed.
